Reading the latest SR1 proposal to C++ standard, explained in recent article by some Google corporate entity, I could not but feel sad:
Here we have corporate advertisers, pretending to be open source developers, defending half-assed, miniscule additions to C++ standards as a big improvenent.
Shame to Google and Boost and C++ standards commitee. IMO, you deserve as much respect as Microsoft corporate develpoers.
Your post is almost completely unintelligible. The only clear thing about it is that it's a scurrilous attack, which of course is quite destructive in itself.
I suspect it's a reference to the article I published in DDJ recently, which discussed TR1 and mentioned Boost. FWIW, I can think of a few Microsoft engineers who deserve a good deal more respect than I do. There are some very good people working there. --Matt
